| Speaker's magnetic field and pacemaker Tgrisham, what's your advise for AICD's That's the one really of particular interest to me- Me and Medtronic, like Peanut Butter and Jelly- | |
| Speaker's magnetic field and pacemaker Thank you! A bad heart ain't fun. Last year I had major surgery, took 3 months to recover, and aside from bond movies at any hour of the day, my own form of self therapy, recovery and meditation was listening to music. I had asked manufacturers an... | |
| Seeking opinions about Pass Labs 250.5 amp. Not a direct comparison but I have an Int-150, which is an X150.5 and part Xp10Best SS amp I ever had. | |
| Do you indulge when listening to your rig? Pinot Noir | |
| What is your cartridge and tracking force used Linn Arkiv B set at 1.8 gr measured on an almost 30 year old Shure balance beam ( I once ad a $300 electronic guage from the UK, but it matched the readings on the Shure so I sold it! ) | |
| Want to replace my speaker cables Leaning towards the AP Oval 9's. Wondering if I should go with Oval 12's bi-wire shotgun. The total equivalent AWG for that is 9 guage, the same as Oval 9's. The kicker is the shotgun Oval 12's run less scratch than the 9's. To an earlier poster w... | |
| Want to replace my speaker cables I guess this is why I want to replace these cables- I don't generally want to swap out anything that I am satisfied with. On a side note my observation about Nordost is that the pricier the Nordost the more hyper detailed. My Nordost cables are or... | |
| No more big power supplies for preamps Don't necessarily be fooled by full sized power supplies. I am aware that both Bryston and Pass, in the past, marketed a pre-amp and a phono stage, respectively, that initially had separate but small power supplies only to supplant them with the i... | |

| Downsizing my system from tubes to an integrated really pleased with my INT-150. Rega also has nice integrateds | |
| Do I Have the Wrong Cartridge? The Elys is a good cartridge though I would have also considered an Linn Adikt or a Grado, but in my expereince, those tend to hum near the inner grooves. The Rega cartridge is not particularly high, thus I am wondering whether the arm is too high... | |
| Source XLR to Balanced Preamp will increase gain? A properly designed balanced output will be at a higher level than an unbalanced output. I'm not sure it's 6 dB though. I seem to recall once I compared the output of my tuner (it has both balanced and unbalanced outputs) using interstation hiss, ... | |
| Oldest piece of gear you own Actually, I made an error- I have a pair of Ohm F's in my garage. Late 70's I think. | |
| Your first amp? Those are awesome first amps. It's both gratifying and sad at what satisfaction modest amps brought before we learned otherwise. I loved my Pioneer and was truly sad when, just within the last five years, a relative I gave the SX450 to, told me he... | |
| Replacing the stock power cable of the TT The planar 3 has 2 significant issues- it runs fast and the way the motor is mounted the motor does not maintain a constant distance between itself and the inner platter which leads to speed fluctuations. These are the areas where the planar 3 nee... |
